this is. from berlin tonight a shocking shake up inside the white house president. bush and controversial national security adviser john bolton is out he says he resigned says. the president strongly disagreed with both hands positions on the major foreign policy issues including talks with the taliban and the u.s. stance on iran will trucks with the departure of both and more then

a personnel change. a campaign promise designed to provoke israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu says. the occupied west bank if he's reelected in a general election next week. and. the commission president sets climate protection as a top priority for her new. line and build her proposed gender balance commission earlier today we'll take a closer look at her ambitious plans for your. it's good to have you with us we begin in washington d.c. tonight u.s. president donald trump says he has dismissed his national security advisor john bolt. in announcing this latest white house sacking on twitter the president said

that he disagreed strongly with bolton on many issues bolton is regarded as a foreign policy hawk advocating regime change in countries such as syria and iran and serving as u.s. ambassador to the united nations from 2005 to 2006 trump says he'll name a new security advisor next week are let's take this story now to washington d.c. our correspondent public is standing by good evening to you pablo's or do we know what sparked this dismissal there were rumors that it was those canceled talks with the taliban. you're absolutely right brant and it appears that there was reports here in the media saying is there was a heated discussion between the former national security advisor john bolton and president trump over at president trump more will say consider

a tree at tone towards the taliban he believed that it diplomatic effort was at the best way to put an end to the u.s. is the longest war of course in afghanistan it was one of his campaign promises let's not forget to bring the troops home or at least bring back the majority of the troops but it's believed that john bolton was very much against it and he said essentially inviting a terrorist this is what's being reported on that it's inviting a terrorist organization to camp david was pretty much setting a a dangerous precedent and he was very much against it and that this is that as you've kind of mentioned already at one of many disagreements that it appears john bolton had it with president trump and we know that troubled bowled over iran as well we've got the iranian president's advisers saying that the departure of bolton shows that the u.s. is policy of maximum pressure against iran has failed are we anticipating massive

changes now in the white house is iran polls. well bred it was definitely what most of the questions were being sort of geared towards mike pompei of the secretary of state at a press conference that he gave here in that washington earlier asking whether they would change the direction and it does appear that president trump is taking as i said before a little bit more of a considerate conciliatory tone as towards for example north korea and iran as we're discussing now and we know that president trump. said that he's open to potentially meeting the iranian president hassan rouhani and we know that john bolton had definitely a more aggressive approach towards iran which it appears went against perhaps president trump is trying to what direction he's trying to take the united states in them like pump a 0 didn't give us much information on that but he did indicate that perhaps the

fact that at john bolton isn't there anymore you know it might be a little bit easier for these discussions to take place between president and house under jaime in the future. like i said it's one of the many differences of opinion that existed between president trump and john bolton let's not forget the 3rd national security adviser under the trumpet ministration the like a revolving door inside the white helps a writer who responded publicly in washington on the story for public thank you hugh israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has promised to annex the jordan valley in the our west bank if he wins next week's election in the jordan valley account for award swathe of the occupied west bank it's a large strategic area that runs along the border with jordan. who made the pledge and he lived to be address to the nation today the israelis will vote in

parliamentary elections on september 17th a 2nd elections to be held this year the ballots could win that yahoo 5th term. it could end his decade long dominance of israeli politics. if they receive a clear mandate to do so from you the citizens of israel in recent months i have led a diplomatic effort in this direction and in recent days the conditions for this have ripened today i'm announcing my intention to apply with the formation of the next government israeli self on the jordan valley and northern dead sea there. are for more on this now i'm joined by our correspondent on your grammar in jerusalem good evening to you john you so help us understand what netanyahu is doing here when he says he intends to annex parts of the occupied west bank is he talking about an illegal land grab. well you have to see the statement a very dramatic statement in a way in the context of the elections i mean you said it's

a week before the elections and he said he wants to the next the settlements in the jordan valley and north of the dead sea and also in light of the possible revelation of the u.s. peace plan after the elections and that he needs to mandate from his voters from the israeli public to do so immediately after the elections now it's not really a new plant in israel has always said they want to keep this jordan valley especially as a security barrier as an east of a possible eastern border but of course there is a big if if he's reelected that would be a to mattick development because it could seen in towns like jericho in the jordan very little enclaves israel occupied captured and occupied the west bank in one to $67.00 and of course such a move would then make at this occupation come an end and also you know the notion for the palestinians of a possible. suffer and palestinian state and 2 state solution for those people who

still believe and a 2 state solution would actually go away and of course it's and against international law and against and no notion of an negotiated deal you know that would see a sovereign palestinian state in turn your what about the timing of this is netanyahu is he making this promise to appease those orthodox parties that he needs to win ahead of the election. but his certainly and i think all the media tonight is that is a put it you know statement in an election campaign and he certainly appears to the vote is right thing phase but he wants to go to the crew doesn't ones need to be too dependent on those extrema like the smaller parties in its way his coalition but again you know it's only really would push for it and if he makes it. also

depends what kind of condition he would be able to put together then this would be a traumatic move. on the point of view for the palestinians or the corresponding funding framework in jerusalem tonight tanya thank you but here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world officials in iraq say more than 30 people have died in around $100.00 have been injured in the city of karbala after a stampede during a shura celebrations and that's when many muslims commemorate the death of the prophet muhammad's grandson hussein some celebrations include self flagellation rituals italy's new left leaning coalition has cleared the final hurdle to form a government winning a confidence vote in the country's a perhaps the senate a new coalition of the anti-establishment 5 star movement and the center left democratic party is led by former prime minister just epic conte and shut far right leader by to yourself genie out of power. or the european

is a proposal puts an emphasis on labor and social issues as well as relief for low income families. here's part of what olof scholtz said today during the budget debate in the build this talk minus the in my view it is essential that with a solid financial basis that we now have we can react with many many billions of euros if that's the recession in germany or europe and we will do it then the bad news often. are for more on this i'm joined now by our political correspondent. and here at the big table with me chris from d.w. business to both of you welcome to start with you so says that germany can spend its way out of a possible recession or economic crisis why not use that money now when it invests to prevent the crisis. well that's a lot to do with germany's famous or infamous black 0 policy what that means is

the you said it is now the self-imposed goal of keeping the federal budget balanced and it has become what the main pillar off germany's fiscal policy under a chance i'm going to america and her finance ministers are going to always argue that it's important how and important is not to burden future generations with debt especially looking at germany's rapidly aging society so it's safe to say both are going back and really want to stick to that policy and but it has come under criticism not only by politicians from the opposition who are demanding a boost in investment but also because as you mentioned germany is now facing an economic slowdown but. repeat least stressed and i used that the government will only act if that slowdown is turning into an actual crisis a crisis a recession and many people say that's where we're headed chris is this balanced

budget is a sacred cow in german politics but some people say it needs to change right if you're not investing in the future what are you doing that's right you have very prominent economists that are saying this a black 0 there's no new debt policy is actually a fetish rich claim to isn't smart in these times one reason is for several reasons the 1st one is if you look at the bond market the yields for german bonds are near 0 or even negative territory meaning that if germany borrowed $100.00 euros from an investor it would only have to pay back $99.00 euros or so and so investors consider an investment in the german government bonds as so safe that they're willing to pay money and there are economists saying that the government needs to make use of that particularly because the interest rates are not going to stay low for ever the sec. reason is there is a high need to invest in germany in infrastructure in roads in schools in education

in general in mobile internet coverage and economists argue if this investment is done now it could lead to serious dangers for economic growth in the future and the 3rd argument obviously is it could bolster its puttering economy so if germany did decide to borrow more i mean how would the markets react with would it be a shock i don't think so i don't think investors would be spooked as i said there is a demand out there for for a relatively safe investment the german sovereign bonds are considered as such so if germany were to auction a large swath of bonds i think they would be heavily oversubscribed meaning debt be much more a demand than supply and we only there's also been talk about the shadow budget that would allocate billions of euros to climate protection measures what do we know about that well we know that a record came out on monday that basically said that berlin is may set up

independent public bodies and to take on new debts and have been in key areas like infrastructure but also climate protection measures as a receiving basically circumventing the country's very strict rules on spending and and that is because pressure is mounting on the german government to actually do something about climate change to implement bold measures to review reduce carbon emissions and obviously that will cost money rightly only for never done here in berlin chris colfer here at the big table to both of you thank you. well a female iranian football fan who set herself on fire after her arrest for attending a game dressed as a man where she is die so far was known as the blue girl in social media circles after the colors of her favorite men's team iranian rights activists and football's world governing body are among those mourning her death and the

a reality for. skateboarding makes its debut at next year's olympic games in tokyo it will be a historic moment for the sport and provide it with greater recognition but there are fears once the skateboarding community that this mainstream exposure will in danger the sports individuality and perhaps even expose the use of cannabis that is associated with skateboarding. has skateboarding turns heads at my is a real greeting here at the 18 year old from the south of germany quit school to focus on skateboarding. code in the us how it's gone inside. the lympics has been a dream of mine since i was a kid this is the coolest thing and it's what i look forward to another skateboarding is part of the olympics it's really cool. that not everyone is so optimistic some skaters are unsure at this point fits in impacts.

skating has nothing to do with the olympics skate the cities like skating is like freedom you can do what you want to do there are no rules you can wear what you want you do the tricks you want as a kind of like no one is going to wear the same t. shirts when they skate no one wants that. skateboarding has always been more padi then sport even at the german. championships and there's no doubt everyone is young and image the international olympic committee wants to use to its advantage that skateboarding now has to play by the olympic rules. so that teams when he became an olympic sport everyone that wants to participate has to be part of a club the club has to be part of the national association doping control officers come and test young skaters they take your examples. anti doping rules pose a problem for many skaters smoking a joint is part of the sport it's a lifestyle but there's a specific component in cannabis that is on the list of banned substances at the olympics that means germany coach you're going to hobart has to 2 skaters are more

than just their talent it's ball over tyler need those who have the desire to show off their skills that means competitively skating for 3 minutes and delivering a performance wouldn't talk about some of the most talented skaters are no longer part of the seaman's because it just didn't work out in terms of over aspects of that even he admits. it's best to develop talent at a young age like nearly stuff asked us that she's only 12 years old and already a 2 time german champion. really has eyes on tokyo 2020. she'll be 13 by then thank you thank us sensitive at least the 1st 20 in the world rankings qualify at the moment i'm number 25 the list will be adjusted because only 3 from every country are allowed

to take part so i could be 17 or 16 that's why my chances are good i think i can do it thanks to china's shafqat lineage represents a new generation of skateboarders for them skateboarding is a competitive sport and not just the lifestyle it's the same for tiger at my i both have defended the german titles and now hope to showcase their talent on the biggest. and for more on this new skateboarding moves i'm joined here to be table now by sharon have a coffee is the deputy chairman of germany's skate board commission if you didn't know what he bought a skateboard with and and it's good to have you on the show i mean you're serious about this sport what do you say is skateboarding something that should be in the olympics for some of us definitely yes for the most of the my age it's like curious to see the skateboarding entering until lympics since when i was

born olympics was for like fends and all these traditional sports but we see and think of allusion and sports in the olympics so why not and we have seen the. snowboarding and touring with a great success so it's a huge possibility for those who are interested in that you know you safe for your age you are in your for use in a lot of people look at skateboarders and think of them as being teenagers or earth people you know in their in their their twenty's are i mean are you to vote for this sport no i don't think so and i'm told i'm just you never quits get boarding otherwise has never been a skip or and that's what that is mountain one of our biggest idol it's said and i have to say it's true i'm going there outside and skating more or less each day i mean is this for the fact that the sport does have sort of skateboarders like yourself the fact that it is going into the olympics does does that prove that this

is a sport that is maturing and that its time has come. i would say both has matured olympics and we so olympics change we change and we take this chance that see what's happening we want to see some really good skateboarding there and from my side i will push skateboarding as far as i can to go and have a big nice contest there and at the olympics and if the works out there will be a big interest for that but then there's on the other hand a big scene that's not interested in that one as anyone when you go into sports there is this perception of skateboarding being a peter pan sport you know people who skate board are usually young people who don't want to grow up is there any truth behind them well. it's a big idol for us and al because it's a good thing to stay young to say we're billions to ask questions to be there ald

in the streets and have some context of a person's and don't grow old and mindset and just mainstreaming the sport by going to the olympics will not do that no i don't think so it's like to rebellious it's too vital and there is lots things happening in skateboarding which will never touch the lympics at all. sure and how because deputy chairman of germany's skate board commission we appreciate you coming in tonight and bringing your board with you thank you thank you thank you are going to take you now to the indian ocean island of mauritius for the kite surfing world cup now 14 year old mikhail still has triumphed with a look at this stunning display of the freestyle competition she knelt tops the world rankings things 2 amazing jumps like this race has also hosted the men's competition a jury corner of the dominican republic one that after some monster jobs while
